Tendulkar scales heights, but Pakistan victorious

India's Sachin Tendulkar passed 13,000 one-day runs and struck his 37th limited-overs century but could not prevent Pakistan from winning the second one-day international by 12 runs here on Tuesday.

While the 30-year-old smashed 141 from 135 balls, including 17 fours and a six, India was unable to chase Pakistan's imposing 6-329, which was set up by a quickfire 138-run partnership between openers Shahid Afridi (80 from 58 balls) and Yasir Hameed (86).

India remained in the hunt right through, with man-of-the-match Tendulkar blazing away from one end. But, the game started to slip away after his fall in the 39th over with the score on 245.
